ArchivedAngerI have a question. When is it okay for a Christian to get angry? Because right now, I'm furious.
Here's the story. I just left a message board called Michael Savage Sucks. I don't hate Mike Savage and I hate the title of the board, but I do disagree with the way he conducts himself. And so, naturally, I figured I'd join a message board to discuss Mike's POV. I belonged to this board for a few months, and I had to deal with - on a daily basis - an angry homosexual, Liberal extremist whose ID is Savage Weiner. Several times, he's trashed Christians. Not just the Christian religion, but the people. At the same time, he screamed about how intolerant, ignorant, and bigoted Mike Savage is.
Well, the pooh-pooh hit the fan today, and I left the board for good. First, the message that set me off:
I Hope You're Right RE
Right-wing columnist Horowitz (sp) wrote a few months back that the Religious Right hasn't accepted it's lost and the gay community hasn't realized it's won. But Horowitz doesn't understand christian fundamentalists like we do. They will stop at nothing. They will see America nuked so they can seize control before they see gays having equal rights and dignity here. I know them far better than anyone here. But if gays are finally given fairness and allowed to marry, if any of those bastards begin protesting forever like they do about a woman's right to choose and control over her own life, then it's on then. Those scumbag self-righteous mother-@#%$ bastards will leave gays alone once and for all.
Here's the message I left behind:
HYPOCRISY RUNNING RAMPANT!
I am tired of all of the hypocrisy that is taking place on this board.
First, you have Savage Weiner. Like a majority of us, he is offended whenever Michael Savage pulls his usual stunts. He goes on and on about how Mike is a hateful, ignorant, bigoted b*st*r*.
Oh. But wait! Savage Weiner then turns around and trashes Christians and Conservatives on a daily basis, grouping us into one great big category and screaming about how we're bigots because we don't support homosexual lifestyles.
Weiner, get a clue. I am not a bigot. I don't hate homosexuals. I don't cheer when another gay person dies from AIDS or is murdered in cold blood. I mourn for them, and I pray for them and their loved ones, as well as those who DO celebrate their deaths.
I just view your lifestyle as a sin. This is the United States of America, where people are allowed to state their opinions, vote for what they want, and believe what they want. Don't you, for one second, think that you can rant and scream about Michael Savage's bigotry, then get away with displaying your own bigotry.
I'd also imagine that I am not the only one who's sick and tired of your non-stop ranting, screaming, raving and whining about anyone and everyone whose convictions oppose yours. If you had bothered to display one ounce of tolerance and understanding, maybe you'd get through to people. But instead, you constantly trash them, belittle them, and scream at them.
Those are not the actions of an intelligent adult. Those are the actions of a child. It's time to grow up, Weiner, and join us in the real world.
In essence, if there's anyone out there who wants to engage in intelligent, non-bigoted, polite discussions with me, here's my address.
********_***@*****.***
If not? See ya. Have fun on this board. You won't have to put up with me standing up to you. I've better, more important things to worry about.
What I want to know is, from a Biblical standpoint, is what I did okay? Was it all right for me to feel furious when Weiner trashed the Christian religion?
This is a deadly serious question, and I want a straight answer.
